As TJ noted - carbs and fuel are going to be the first things that will need attention most likely.
I would expect it may need a "valve adjustment" (setting clearances between the valve and rocker) , but not a "valve job" (removing the head, valves, and grinding the valves and seats).
We bought a 2004 with 250 mi that had been sitting for over 8 years, and after carefully cleaning/adjusting the carbs, completely draining the tank and adding fresh gas, replacing the battery, and changing the oil/filter it fired right up.
